Extended Alternate Picking Exercise

This lesson is an extended alternate picking exercise based on note groupings of 6. Usually a pattern of 6 is played as 8th note triplets (three notes to a beat) or 16th note triplets (6 notes to one beat) so that the pattern starts over every beat or every other beat. But in this exercise, the patterns of 6 is played using a 16th note rhythm (4 notes to one beat) meaning that only the first four notes of the pattern are played in the first beat while the remaining two notes continue to the second beat. The next pattern of 6 then begins on the upbeat of beat 2. The third 6 note group brings the idea back to the downbeat.

Album Reviews

Please note - we are no longer accepting albums for review, and haven't been for some time. I'm now getting too many requests to even respond to, if an album review goes up it's because we've had the CD for a long time, before we stopped doing them. It'll still take us a long time to get those done, so apologies in advance.

If you'd like coverage on Shredaholic, the best thing to do is write a lesson. It's giving back to your fanbase and is quick for us to put on the site.

We still welcome user submitted album reviews, so please feel free to send those in.
